Jane,
This sounds more like something by Daphne Du Maurier than the Brontes. I love the classic Gothic romances and I definitely think there's a market for it. The problem is convincing the publishers. You're right to downplay the vampire aspect, because the bookstores are flooded with poorly-written vampire knock-offs - if your plot actually explores some deeper aspects than "vamp preys, vamp feeds, victim dies" then you need to stress how your novel is different.
Reading your synopsis as a book-blurb, yes I would buy it. For selling it to the editors, however, you need to spell out your plot-twists and ending. They need to get a gist for the complete novel at a glance, which is a bit more complicated than tempting a reader to buy it. Your synopsis looks a bit hazy on plot, and strengthening that might be the key to getting an editor to read your manuscript.
